Does "nobody" mean Microsoft? Does this mean that what we know as Excel is
the final incarnation of Excel? Maybe, Excel will need an overhaul to
become a bigger and better Excel. Or we can just go back to Quattro Pro or
some other spreadsheet program, but I don't know if that has the multiple
windows feature.

Ahh, nostalgia. I remember when Quattro Pro was great because it had
spreadsheet "drilling." You could enter data in one sheet and all of the
sheets in the book would have the same data. Oooooo, drilling.
